Blurb: While her B-School batch mates are busy
scrambling for top jobs and grades, a restless Sarika dreams of putting on her
running shoes and having all the pages of her passport stamped by the age of
thirty.What follows is a frenzied quest of not just collecting stamps but ticking off items off her ever-expanding bucket list: From learning the local language in Spain to an alcohol trail through Greece; from a tryst with Shakespeare and Jane Austen in the United Kingdom to an encounter with the Vampire in Romania; from straddling the border between two countries in the Middle East to a road trip through Morocco to the Sahara; each experience bringing her just a little closer to reaching that final destination on her passport.
A journey of falling in love with globetrotting--this one promises to be one of the best roller-coaster reading experiences you will have this year.
Verdict: ‘Bucket
List of a Traveloholic’ is the first novel by the avid traveler Sarika Pandit.
This is one unique book which will drag the hidden traveloholic among the
readers and will make them see the places through the eyes of the author.
One look at the book and the readers knows that this book is
not a fiction but a travel book. The name, the cover everything fits perfect in
the genre of this book. Even the back cover features some interesting
photographs, which will definitely make the readers sneak a peek inside the
book.
I always thought that travel books are boring, just because
they don’t have a story to tell. But this book turned my thoughts upside down
and after completing this book, I became a fan of this genre.
Each and every
chapter have a new story to tell and a new scene to show. The name of the
chapters are make those all the more exotic. After reading first two chapters I
turned the pages and started to discover through the index, which countries or
how many cities I would visit through this book.
Being a non-fiction book the author haven’t care a lot on
the narrating style and go on telling her experiences which I think the best
thing of the book. One can feel by reading this that these incidents are true
and these words are original. There are cities which we have seen in movies,
read in books and there are few which are not. From learning Spanish in Spain,
to trying chocolate in Brussels, from testing alcohol in Greece to the wonder
country Slovenia, each and every chapter is so beautiful that the readers can
literally feel the atmosphere. I envy the boss of Sarika and her luck of
finding the perfect partner every time. My favorite chapters or places was
United Kingdome and Florence. The clicked pictures at the end of every chapters
completes everything.
I loved the way the author described each secnes with
perfect amount of humor but I couldn’t deny the fact that there is few chapters
also which are not that interesting. May be the place was not so interesting or
can be described in a better way. Apart from those few boring chapters this
book is roller coaster ride and the more important thing is this book will entertain
everyone without caring for age.
Final Words: Being
my first in the genre of travel this book made me a fan of this genre. I felt if I could see more places through the eyes of the author, after completing
the book. This book will definitely drag out the traveloholic inside you.
